# The Judicial Service Commission has resolved to recommend to president Cyril Ramaphosa that he appoint Judges Gerald Bloem, Mmathebe Phatshoane and Esther Steyn to fill three vacancies in the Supreme Court of Appeal. During his interview yesterday, Bloem was quizzed about his ruling that ultimately banned Shell from oil and gas exploration off the Wild Coast. Phatshoane emphasised her work in being a role model for young women, while Steyn highlighted her time in the Electoral Court. The commission is conducting interviews to fill 22 vacancies across eleven courts.
